8 GEN, WILSON - INDIGNANT Storv of His Resignation in Rank Canard. not wrem. ■No Complaint to Make*'Against the Administration —Satisfied With His Place. General James H. Witevn will not re sign. He-says that he has no intention of doing anything of the kind, and is at a lons to knew where any Much report got out. The statement which appeared in a morning paper to the effect that he would resign is untrue and all the officers at the con* headquarters say they have given out no such information. A reporter of lhe News called at the headquarters this morning and asked if it was true that General Wilson would resign. He was ■handed the following by Lieutenant Stew art .Genera) Wilson’s aide. “The statement published in the morn- ' ing papers today that General Wilson in- j tends to resign is entirely unauthorized I and without foundation. When he left i ■the army before it was “for the interval , of peace which might elapse between the date of his resignation and the beginning . of the next war.” When he came into •the army -this time it was to remain so song as bis services might be required, and he has no expectation of quitting until the government signifies that it has no longer any use for his services. He was not aci applicant for the chief com mand in Cuba, though he would have felt | honored had the assignment been given him. He has no grievances whatever against the administratio®.”' General Wilson was seen in regain to the matter and was asked if it was true that he would send in his resignation, or •if he had any intention of so doing. He replied “The report is absolutely without foundation and is 'the work of some smart Aleck reporter, who is meddling in some- i body else’s business. 4 understood that ' he sent the report out in the Associated . Tretts and I want you -to correct it. When , I get ready to resign I will let the people J know it. I wish that you would correct the impression in your paper this aftei - noon and say that the morning paper bad no foundation for its statement. I would like to see the man who wrote that article, anyway/" It can lie seen from the general s state ment that he has been grossly misrepre sented and that he was in no way an ap plicant for the position of military gov ernor of Cuba. He was angry this morn ing when the "News reporter called and he grew angrier as he talked of the matter. All of General Wilson’s staff say that the general has not -intimated in the slightest that he would resign, and say that they do not know where the paper got its information. It is thought that the story was made up on the statement of several men who j s.iid that General Wilson was disappointed because he did not get the appointment I as military governor of Cuba.
